Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X500SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X500SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 500mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.

About the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X500SCM
The largest bore in the MAC line turns this mini-format cylinder into a genuine workhorse: at 0.5 MPa it pushes with 1557.9 N and pulls with 1457.4 N, rising to 2181.0 N and 2040.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Double acting with a variable air cushion at both ends, it runs 30-800 mm/s on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof rated at 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Keep real working effort near 935 N, about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure, so the cylinder has headroom for friction and pressure dips.
The 500 mm stroke sits right at the top of the standard range for a 63 mm bore, so no made-to-order barrel is needed. The riveted stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off washdown and damp plant air far better than painted minis, and the CM round-end back cover lets the whole cylinder swing on a pin without fabricated brackets. The built-in magnet is standard, so CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clip straight on for end-of-stroke sensing.

Where the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X500SCM Is Used
Pallet push-off arm
A 500 mm stroke shoves a loaded pallet clear of a conveyor stop, with 1557.9 N available at 0.5 MPa and roughly 935 N of that usable in practice.
AGV battery extraction
Lifting battery packs out of a deep AGV tray: the theoretical 159 kg vertical lift drops to about 79 kg with a 2:1 margin, comfortably covering a 70 kg pack.
Scrap chute gate
Swinging a heavy steel scrap gate under a punch press; the round-end back cover takes a pivot pin directly and the air cushion catches the gate at full open.
Is the Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X500SCM the Right Cylinder?
There is no larger bore to step up to - 63 mm is the strongest in the MAC series - so if 1557.9 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 50 mm bore delivers 981.3 N and saves air. Because a plain MAC is double acting only, air must keep flowing to hold a position: centring the valve lets the piston drift, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put over the full travel. The CM round-end cover pairs with the SDB pivot bracket, while FA flange and LB foot options suit rigid frames, and I / Y rod knuckles protect the M14x1.5 male thread from bending. On a 500 mm stroke, keep side load off the 16 mm rod by guiding the load externally, and use the standard magnet with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches for position feedback.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC63X500SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1557.9 N and pulls 1457.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 2181.0 N push and 2040.3 N pull; theoretical maximum is 317.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, runs 30-800 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air through 1/4" ports, and carries a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
Back both cushion needle screws fully off before the first run, then close them gradually until end-of-stroke shock disappears. The cushion is variable air, not a fixed bumper, and it does not lock the piston - with air lost the rod drifts, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
